This is another ‘slugs and bugs story’ by Randall Goodgame,
with illustrations by Joe Sutphin.
Maggie and Morty became members of the Society of
Extraordinary Raccoons, and learn a lesson about boasting. The Society of Extraordinary Raccoons: on Boasting ( B&H Publishing
Group, 2019).
The two young raccoons are
definitely problem children, always causing trouble and trying to stay out of
trouble, but along the way they get tired of their life of mischief and mayhem
and start to follow Jesus. Like all of us, there are still moments when their
actions speak louder than words, and they have moments when they fall back into
their own ways.
The issues discussed here is boasting, and the friends learn
that boasting might make us feel better about ourselves, but it the process it
hurts someone else’s feelings. With the
help of a older and wiser member of the society, the youngsters learn a
valuable lesson from Matthew, chapter 6.
The rhyming works better for me than that of the previous
book in this series, and the illustrations are once again enchanting and
captivating.
My main concern with this book is that it feels flimsy—at
times I thought that the binding would break after just a couple of readings,
I received a copy of this book from the publisher as a
member of their blogger’s program.
